Southampton target Phillips keen to stay at Leeds

According to BBC journalist Adam Pope, Phillips is happy at Leeds and is keen to remain at the club with Marcelo Bielsa in charge at Elland Road.

Southampton have been heavily linked with a move for Phillips, along with fellow Premier League clubs Norwich, Bournemouth, Wolves and Aston Villa.
This will now come as a blow for Southampton, with the midfielder seemingly willing to stay in the Championship with his hometown club for another season.
Phillips enjoyed a superb season in the second tier with Leeds in the 2018/19 campaign, as the club finished third in the league and he was named in the Championship Team of the Season.
The 23-year-old has made over 100 first-team appearances for Leeds since coming through the academy set up at the Yorkshire club.
